Socio-economic analysis for economic development planning, marketing, the provision of public services – just to name a few has long been dependent on secondary data from sources such as associations, provincial governments and Statistics Canada and primary data from sources such as interviews, surveys and focus groups.

Customers control magnitudes more of the message than ever.
